Wayne,
Yes, as all have said, I nice WU 100. Made by Underwood I believe. They had to move the platen instead of the carriage and have two sets of Kybd contacts to get around Teletypes patent. I least thats what I was told by other WU techs in the 1970's.
In the movie "Ace In The Hole" with Kirk Douglas there was a model 100 featured prominently as Kirk was a reporter who dragged out the rescue of a trapped miner for his own purposes. A pretty good movie.
I guess I had better use my call sign as I forgot there are two Wayne's on the list.
73,
Wayne
